How many cellphone numbers do you know by heart?
"Pick up, it's me..."
There comes a time in a person's life when they need to learn a cellphone number. Whether it's as a child memorising their dad's digits to call for a pick-up, or as an adult, knowing their spouse's number for emergencies, it's a crucial skill that must be acquired.
Surprisingly, not all KZN residents seem to share this perspective. Some East Coasters claim that they don't know any essential cellphone numbers, should an emergency arise.
This begs an important question: Do you?
From the possibility of having your phone stolen to being involved in an accident, or even encountering signal issues, it's a clear sign that you should familiarise yourself with your spouse's, family's, and emergency services' numbers.
It could make a significant difference and even save a life.
